| Summary: | Wireless Personal Area Networks provides an in-depth analysis of the recent IEEE 802.15.4 standard for low data rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPANs), including suggestions to improve performance and comparisons with the related 802.15.1 (Bluetooth) standard. It assesses the suitability of the standard for the development and deployment of wireless sensor networks as well as providing guidance and insight into the relative advantages and disadvantages of various performance solutions Analyzes the performance of a single cluster under different traffic and power management regimes including uplink vs. Downlink traffic, acknowledged vs. unacknowledged traffic, saturation vs. non-saturation, and the like Compares the IEEE 802.15.4 standard with the related Bluetooth IEEE 802.15.1 standard in terms of suitability for implementing wireless sensor networks Discusses security issues in WPANs such as different security threats, their impact on performance, standard security mechanisms, and security policies Investigates multi-cluster networks and compares how they can be implemented Provides a comprehensive, in-depth look at the issues surrounding WPAN network operation and performance This reference is a valuable tool for developers and researchers getting acquainted with various aspects of IEEE 802.15.4 technology. Graduate students studying courses such as Performance Evaluation, Wireless Sensor Networks and Queueing Theory will also find this book very insightful Wireless Personal Area Networks: |
